It's a Samsung RV520 which has an Intel Centrino Wireless - N130 adapter inside it, and that says it can handle speeds up to 150 depending on your specs, so I'd appreciate someones insight into if it's actually worth getting my own router.

No. Your maximum speed is limited by your laptop's card, not the router.

Sure the Superhub 1's wireless can be dire but on the other hand your laptop has an artificially crippled card that can't do more than 40-50Mbps anyway, nomatter what router you have. Ideally, you'd upgrade both.

You are here: 
I'll call them later as they might wanna do a remote thingy to have a look at the settings 
I'll still call about a new superhub as I think I'll be going down the route of the new adapter that thenry linked me to. I'm guessing the adapter is a universal item that upgrades iffy ones like mine? Many thanks to yourself qasdfdsaq and also to thenry for the help and advice.
